|
|
|
|
<p>The libavformat library provides some generic global options, which
|
|
can be set on all the muxers and demuxers. In addition each muxer or
|
|
demuxer may support so-called private options, which are specific for
|
|
that component.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Options may be set by specifying -<var>option</var> <var>value</var> in the
|
|
FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
|
|
<code>AVFormatContext</code> options or using the <samp>libavutil/opt.h</samp> API
|
|
for programmatic use.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The list of supported options follows:

<p>To ensure all the streams are interleaved correctly, libavformat will

wait until it has at least one packet for each stream before actually

writing any packets to the output file. When some streams are

"sparse" (i.e. there are large gaps between successive packets), this

can result in excessive buffering.

<p>This field specifies the maximum difference between the timestamps of the

first and the last packet in the muxing queue, above which libavformat

will output a packet regardless of whether it has queued a packet for all

|
the streams.

|
|
|
|
<p>Demuxers are configured elements in FFmpeg that can read the
|
|
multimedia streams from a particular type of file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported demuxers
|
|
are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the
|
|
configure option <code>--list-demuxers</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can disable all the demuxers using the configure option
|
|
<code>--disable-demuxers</code>, and selectively enable a single demuxer with
|
|
the option <code>--enable-demuxer=<var>DEMUXER</var></code>, or disable it
|
|
with the option <code>--disable-demuxer=<var>DEMUXER</var></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The option <code>-formats</code> of the ff* tools will display the list of
|
|
enabled demuxers.

<p>This demuxer presents all AVStreams from all variant streams.
|
|
The id field is set to the bitrate variant index number. By setting

the discard flags on AVStreams (by pressing ’a’ or ’v’ in ffplay),
|
|
the caller can decide which variant streams to actually receive.
|

<p>Virtual concatenation script demuxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This demuxer reads a list of files and other directives from a text file and
|
|
demuxes them one after the other, as if all their packets had been muxed
|
|
together.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The timestamps in the files are adjusted so that the first file starts at 0
|
|
and each next file starts where the previous one finishes. Note that it is
|
|
done globally and may cause gaps if all streams do not have exactly the same
|
|
length.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>All files must have the same streams (same codecs, same time base, etc.).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The duration of each file is used to adjust the timestamps of the next file:
|
|
if the duration is incorrect (because it was computed using the bit-rate or
|
|
because the file is truncated, for example), it can cause artifacts. The
|
|
<code>duration</code> directive can be used to override the duration stored in
|
|
each file.

<dt><samp><code>inpoint <var>timestamp</var></code></samp></dt>

<dd><p>In point of the file. When the demuxer opens the file it instantly seeks to the

specified timestamp. Seeking is done so that all streams can be presented
|
|
successfully at In point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This directive works best with intra frame codecs, because for non-intra frame
|
|
ones you will usually get extra packets before the actual In point and the
|
|
decoded content will most likely contain frames before In point too.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For each file, packets before the file In point will have timestamps less than
|
|
the calculated start timestamp of the file (negative in case of the first
|
|
file), and the duration of the files (if not specified by the <code>duration</code>
|
|
directive) will be reduced based on their specified In point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Because of potential packets before the specified In point, packet timestamps

may overlap between two concatenated files.

timestamp in any of the streams, it handles it as an end of file condition and

skips the current and all the remaining packets from all streams.

|
</p>
|
|
<p>Out point is exclusive, which means that the demuxer will not output packets
|
|
with a decoding timestamp greater or equal to Out point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This directive works best with intra frame codecs and formats where all streams
|
|
are tightly interleaved. For non-intra frame codecs you will usually get
|
|
additional packets with presentation timestamp after Out point therefore the
|
|
decoded content will most likely contain frames after Out point too. If your
|
|
streams are not tightly interleaved you may not get all the packets from all
|

streams before Out point and you may only will be able to decode the earliest
|
|
stream until Out point.
|

</p>
|

<p>The duration of the files (if not specified by the <code>duration</code>

<p>Note that in the above example the shortest option for overlay filter is
|
|
used to end the output video at the length of the shortest input file,
|
|
which in this case is <samp>input.mp4</samp> as the GIF in this example loops

<p>Image file demuxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This demuxer reads from a list of image files specified by a pattern.
|
|
The syntax and meaning of the pattern is specified by the
|
|
option <var>pattern_type</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
|
|
determine the format of the images contained in the files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The size, the pixel format, and the format of each image must be the
|
|
same for all the files in the sequence.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This demuxer accepts the following options:
|
|
</p><dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><samp>framerate</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Set the frame rate for the video stream. It defaults to 25.
|

</p></dd>
|

<dt><samp>loop</samp></dt>
|

<dd><p>If set to 1, loop over the input. Default value is 0.

</p></dd>
|

<dt><samp>pattern_type</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Select the pattern type used to interpret the provided filename.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><var>pattern_type</var> accepts one of the following values.
|
|
</p><dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><samp>none</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Disable pattern matching, therefore the video will only contain the specified
|
|
image. You should use this option if you do not want to create sequences from
|
|
multiple images and your filenames may contain special pattern characters.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>sequence</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of files
|
|
indexed by sequential numbers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A sequence pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0<var>N</var>d", which
|
|
specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential
|
|
number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form
|
|
"%d0<var>N</var>d" is used, the string representing the number in each
|
|
filename is 0-padded and <var>N</var> is the total number of 0-padded
|
|
digits representing the number. The literal character ’%’ can be
|
|
specified in the pattern with the string "%%".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the sequence pattern contains "%d" or "%0<var>N</var>d", the first filename of
|
|
the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number
|
|
inclusively contained between <var>start_number</var> and
|
|
<var>start_number</var>+<var>start_number_range</var>-1, and all the following
|
|
numbers must be sequential.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will match a sequence of
|
|
filenames of the form <samp>img-001.bmp</samp>, <samp>img-002.bmp</samp>, ...,
|
|
<samp>img-010.bmp</samp>, etc.; the pattern "i%%m%%g-%d.jpg" will match a
|
|
sequence of filenames of the form <samp>i%m%g-1.jpg</samp>,
|
|
<samp>i%m%g-2.jpg</samp>, ..., <samp>i%m%g-10.jpg</samp>, etc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
|
|
"%0<var>N</var>d", for example to convert a single image file
|
|
<samp>img.jpeg</samp> you can employ the command:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i img.jpeg img.png
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>glob</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Select a glob wildcard pattern type.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The pattern is interpreted like a <code>glob()</code> pattern. This is only
|
|
selectable if libavformat was compiled with globbing support.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>glob_sequence <em>(deprecated, will be removed)</em></samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Select a mixed glob wildcard/sequence pattern.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If your version of libavformat was compiled with globbing support, and
|
|
the provided pattern contains at least one glob meta character among
|
|
<code>%*?[]{}</code> that is preceded by an unescaped "%", the pattern is
|
|
interpreted like a <code>glob()</code> pattern, otherwise it is interpreted
|
|
like a sequence pattern.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>All glob special characters <code>%*?[]{}</code> must be prefixed
|
|
with "%". To escape a literal "%" you shall use "%%".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example the pattern <code>foo-%*.jpeg</code> will match all the
|
|
filenames prefixed by "foo-" and terminating with ".jpeg", and
|
|
<code>foo-%?%?%?.jpeg</code> will match all the filenames prefixed with
|
|
"foo-", followed by a sequence of three characters, and terminating
|
|
with ".jpeg".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This pattern type is deprecated in favor of <var>glob</var> and

<var>sequence</var>.

<p>SBaGen script demuxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This demuxer reads the script language used by SBaGen
|
|
<a href="http://uazu.net/sbagen/">http://uazu.net/sbagen/</a> to generate binaural beats sessions. A SBG
|
|
script looks like that:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">-SE
|
|
a: 300-2.5/3 440+4.5/0
|
|
b: 300-2.5/0 440+4.5/3
|
|
off: -
|
|
NOW == a
|
|
+0:07:00 == b
|
|
+0:14:00 == a
|
|
+0:21:00 == b
|
|
+0:30:00 off
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>A SBG script can mix absolute and relative timestamps. If the script uses
|
|
either only absolute timestamps (including the script start time) or only
|
|
relative ones, then its layout is fixed, and the conversion is
|
|
straightforward. On the other hand, if the script mixes both kind of
|
|
timestamps, then the <var>NOW</var> reference for relative timestamps will be
|
|
taken from the current time of day at the time the script is read, and the
|
|
script layout will be frozen according to that reference. That means that if
|
|
the script is directly played, the actual times will match the absolute
|
|
timestamps up to the sound controller’s clock accuracy, but if the user
|
|
somehow pauses the playback or seeks, all times will be shifted accordingly.

<p>By default, the muxer creates a file for each segment produced. These files

|
|
<p>Image file muxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The image file muxer writes video frames to image files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The output filenames are specified by a pattern, which can be used to
|
|
produce sequentially numbered series of files.
|
|
The pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0<var>N</var>d", this string
|
|
specifies the position of the characters representing a numbering in
|
|
the filenames. If the form "%0<var>N</var>d" is used, the string
|
|
representing the number in each filename is 0-padded to <var>N</var>
|
|
digits. The literal character ’%’ can be specified in the pattern with
|
|
the string "%%".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the pattern contains "%d" or "%0<var>N</var>d", the first filename of
|
|
the file list specified will contain the number 1, all the following
|
|
numbers will be sequential.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
|
|
determine the format of the image files to write.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will specify a sequence of
|
|
filenames of the form <samp>img-001.bmp</samp>, <samp>img-002.bmp</samp>, ...,
|
|
<samp>img-010.bmp</samp>, etc.
|
|
The pattern "img%%-%d.jpg" will specify a sequence of filenames of the
|
|
form <samp>img%-1.jpg</samp>, <samp>img%-2.jpg</samp>, ..., <samp>img%-10.jpg</samp>,
|
|
etc.

|
|
|
|
<p>The following example shows how to use <code>ffmpeg</code> for creating a
|
|
sequence of files <samp>img-001.jpeg</samp>, <samp>img-002.jpeg</samp>, ...,
|
|
taking one image every second from the input video:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i in.avi -vsync 1 -r 1 -f image2 'img-%03d.jpeg'
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that with <code>ffmpeg</code>, if the format is not specified with the
|
|
<code>-f</code> option and the output filename specifies an image file
|
|
format, the image2 muxer is automatically selected, so the previous
|
|
command can be written as:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i in.avi -vsync 1 -r 1 'img-%03d.jpeg'
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note also that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
|
|
"%0<var>N</var>d", for example to create a single image file
|
|
<samp>img.jpeg</samp> from the input video you can employ the command:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i in.avi -f image2 -frames:v 1 img.jpeg
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <samp>strftime</samp> option allows you to expand the filename with
|
|
date and time information. Check the documentation of
|
|
the <code>strftime()</code> function for the syntax.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example to generate image files from the <code>strftime()</code>
|
|
"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" pattern, the following <code>ffmpeg</code> command
|
|
can be used:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 1 -i /dev/video0 -f image2 -strftime 1 "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.jpg"

<p>The image muxer supports the .Y.U.V image file format. This format is

special in that that each image frame consists of three files, for

each of the YUV420P components. To read or write this image file format,

specify the name of the ’.Y’ file. The muxer will automatically open the

’.U’ and ’.V’ files as required.

<dt><samp>reserve_index_space</samp></dt>
|

<dd><p>By default, this muxer writes the index for seeking (called cues in Matroska

<p>MOV/MP4/ISMV (Smooth Streaming) muxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The mov/mp4/ismv muxer supports fragmentation. Normally, a MOV/MP4
|
|
file has all the metadata about all packets stored in one location
|
|
(written at the end of the file, it can be moved to the start for
|
|
better playback by adding <var>faststart</var> to the <var>movflags</var>, or
|
|
using the <code>qt-faststart</code> tool). A fragmented
|
|
file consists of a number of fragments, where packets and metadata
|
|
about these packets are stored together. Writing a fragmented
|
|
file has the advantage that the file is decodable even if the
|
|
writing is interrupted (while a normal MOV/MP4 is undecodable if
|
|
it is not properly finished), and it requires less memory when writing
|
|
very long files (since writing normal MOV/MP4 files stores info about
|
|
every single packet in memory until the file is closed). The downside
|
|
is that it is less compatible with other applications.

<p>Fragmentation is enabled by setting one of the AVOptions that define

how to cut the file into fragments:

</p>

<dl compact="compact">

</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>-movflags frag_custom</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Allow the caller to manually choose when to cut fragments, by
|
|
calling <code>av_write_frame(ctx, NULL)</code> to write a fragment with
|
|
the packets written so far. (This is only useful with other
|
|
applications integrating libavformat, not from <code>ffmpeg</code>.)
|

</p></dd>
|

<dt><samp>-min_frag_duration <var>duration</var></samp></dt>
|

<dd><p>Don’t create fragments that are shorter than <var>duration</var> microseconds long.
|

</p></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>If more than one condition is specified, fragments are cut when
|
|
one of the specified conditions is fulfilled. The exception to this is
|
|
<code>-min_frag_duration</code>, which has to be fulfilled for any of the other
|
|
conditions to apply.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Additionally, the way the output file is written can be adjusted
|
|
through a few other options:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><samp>-movflags empty_moov</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Write an initial moov atom directly at the start of the file, without
|
|
describing any samples in it. Generally, an mdat/moov pair is written
|
|
at the start of the file, as a normal MOV/MP4 file, containing only
|
|
a short portion of the file. With this option set, there is no initial
|
|
mdat atom, and the moov atom only describes the tracks but has
|
|
a zero duration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.
|
|
</p></dd>
|

<dt><samp>-movflags separate_moof</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Write a separate moof (movie fragment) atom for each track. Normally,
|
|
packets for all tracks are written in a moof atom (which is slightly
|
|
more efficient), but with this option set, the muxer writes one moof/mdat
|
|
pair for each track, making it easier to separate tracks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>-movflags faststart</samp></dt>
|

<dd><p>Run a second pass moving the index (moov atom) to the beginning of the file.
|
|
This operation can take a while, and will not work in various situations such
|
|
as fragmented output, thus it is not enabled by default.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>-movflags rtphint</samp></dt>
|

<dd><p>Add RTP hinting tracks to the output file.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><samp>-movflags disable_chpl</samp></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Disable Nero chapter markers (chpl atom). Normally, both Nero chapters
|
|
and a QuickTime chapter track are written to the file. With this option
|
|
set, only the QuickTime chapter track will be written. Nero chapters can
|
|
cause failures when the file is reprocessed with certain tagging programs, like
|
|
mp3Tag 2.61a and iTunes 11.3, most likely other versions are affected as well.

</p></dd>
|

<dt><samp>-movflags omit_tfhd_offset</samp></dt>

|
|
<dd><p>Similarly to the omit_tfhd_offset, this flag avoids writing the

the new default-base-is-moof flag instead. This flag is new from
|
|
14496-12:2012. This may make the fragments easier to parse in certain

circumstances (avoiding basing track fragment location calculations

on the implicit end of the previous track fragment).

<dt><samp>-write_tmcd</samp></dt>

<p>The MP3 muxer writes a raw MP3 stream with the following optional features:
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li> An ID3v2 metadata header at the beginning (enabled by default). Versions 2.3 and
|
|
2.4 are supported, the <code>id3v2_version</code> private option controls which one is
|
|
used (3 or 4). Setting <code>id3v2_version</code> to 0 disables the ID3v2 header
|
|
completely.
|
|
|
|
<p>The muxer supports writing attached pictures (APIC frames) to the ID3v2 header.
|
|
The pictures are supplied to the muxer in form of a video stream with a single
|
|
packet. There can be any number of those streams, each will correspond to a
|
|
single APIC frame. The stream metadata tags <var>title</var> and <var>comment</var> map
|
|
to APIC <var>description</var> and <var>picture type</var> respectively. See
|
|
<a href="http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames">http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames</a> for allowed picture types.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that the APIC frames must be written at the beginning, so the muxer will
|
|
buffer the audio frames until it gets all the pictures. It is therefore advised
|
|
to provide the pictures as soon as possible to avoid excessive buffering.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> A Xing/LAME frame right after the ID3v2 header (if present). It is enabled by
|
|
default, but will be written only if the output is seekable. The
|
|
<code>write_xing</code> private option can be used to disable it. The frame contains
|
|
various information that may be useful to the decoder, like the audio duration
|
|
or encoder delay.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> A legacy ID3v1 tag at the end of the file (disabled by default). It may be
|
|
enabled with the <code>write_id3v1</code> private option, but as its capabilities are
|
|
very limited, its usage is not recommended.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Write an mp3 with an ID3v2.3 header and an ID3v1 footer:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i INPUT -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 out.mp3
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>To attach a picture to an mp3 file select both the audio and the picture stream
|
|
with <code>map</code>:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -i cover.png -c copy -map 0 -map 1
|
|
-metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" out.mp3
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Write a "clean" MP3 without any extra features:

|
</p><div class="example">

|
|
|
<p>Basic stream segmenter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This muxer outputs streams to a number of separate files of nearly
|
|
fixed duration. Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion
|
|
similar to <a href="#image2">image2</a>, or by using a <code>strftime</code> template if
|
|
the <samp>strftime</samp> option is enabled.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code>stream_segment</code> is a variant of the muxer used to write to
|
|
streaming output formats, i.e. which do not require global headers,
|
|
and is recommended for outputting e.g. to MPEG transport stream segments.
|
|
<code>ssegment</code> is a shorter alias for <code>stream_segment</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Every segment starts with a keyframe of the selected reference stream,
|
|
which is set through the <samp>reference_stream</samp> option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that if you want accurate splitting for a video file, you need to
|
|
make the input key frames correspond to the exact splitting times
|
|
expected by the segmenter, or the segment muxer will start the new
|
|
segment with the key frame found next after the specified start
|
|
time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The segment muxer works best with a single constant frame rate video.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Optionally it can generate a list of the created segments, by setting
|
|
the option <var>segment_list</var>. The list type is specified by the
|
|
<var>segment_list_type</var> option. The entry filenames in the segment
|
|
list are set by default to the basename of the corresponding segment
|
|
files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>See also the <a href="#hls">hls</a> muxer, which provides a more specific
|
|
implementation for HLS segmentation.

|

<p>The tee muxer can be used to write the same data to several files or any
|
|
other kind of muxer. It can be used, for example, to both stream a video to
|
|
the network and save it to disk at the same time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It is different from specifying several outputs to the <code>ffmpeg</code>
|
|
command-line tool because the audio and video data will be encoded only once
|
|
with the tee muxer; encoding can be a very expensive process. It is not
|
|
useful when using the libavformat API directly because it is then possible
|
|
to feed the same packets to several muxers directly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The slave outputs are specified in the file name given to the muxer,
|
|
separated by ’|’. If any of the slave name contains the ’|’ separator,
|
|
leading or trailing spaces or any special character, it must be
|
|
escaped (see <a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#quoting_005fand_005fescaping">(ffmpeg-utils)the "Quoting and escaping"
|
|
section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Muxer options can be specified for each slave by prepending them as a list of
|
|
<var>key</var>=<var>value</var> pairs separated by ’:’, between square brackets. If
|
|
the options values contain a special character or the ’:’ separator, they
|
|
must be escaped; note that this is a second level escaping.

<p>The following special options are also recognized:

|
|
<p>FFmpeg is able to dump metadata from media files into a simple UTF-8-encoded
|
|
INI-like text file and then load it back using the metadata muxer/demuxer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The file format is as follows:
|
|
</p><ol>
|
|
<li> A file consists of a header and a number of metadata tags divided into sections,
|
|
each on its own line.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> The header is a ‘<samp>;FFMETADATA</samp>’ string, followed by a version number (now 1).
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Metadata tags are of the form ‘<samp>key=value</samp>’
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Immediately after header follows global metadata
|
|
|
|
</li><li> After global metadata there may be sections with per-stream/per-chapter
|
|
metadata.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> A section starts with the section name in uppercase (i.e. STREAM or CHAPTER) in
|
|
brackets (‘<samp>[</samp>’, ‘<samp>]</samp>’) and ends with next section or end of file.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> At the beginning of a chapter section there may be an optional timebase to be
|
|
used for start/end values. It must be in form
|
|
‘<samp>TIMEBASE=<var>num</var>/<var>den</var></samp>’, where <var>num</var> and <var>den</var> are
|
|
integers. If the timebase is missing then start/end times are assumed to
|
|
be in milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
<p>Next a chapter section must contain chapter start and end times in form
|
|
‘<samp>START=<var>num</var></samp>’, ‘<samp>END=<var>num</var></samp>’, where <var>num</var> is a positive
|
|
integer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> Empty lines and lines starting with ‘<samp>;</samp>’ or ‘<samp>#</samp>’ are ignored.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Metadata keys or values containing special characters (‘<samp>=</samp>’, ‘<samp>;</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>#</samp>’, ‘<samp>\</samp>’ and a newline) must be escaped with a backslash ‘<samp>\</samp>’.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Note that whitespace in metadata (e.g. ‘<samp>foo = bar</samp>’) is considered to be
|
|
a part of the tag (in the example above key is ‘<samp>foo </samp>’, value is
|
|
‘<samp> bar</samp>’).
|
|
</li></ol>

|
<p>By using the ffmetadata muxer and demuxer it is possible to extract
|
|
metadata from an input file to an ffmetadata file, and then transcode
|
|
the file into an output file with the edited ffmetadata file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Extracting an ffmetadata file with <samp>ffmpeg</samp> goes as follows:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i INPUT -f ffmetadata FFMETADATAFILE
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Reinserting edited metadata information from the FFMETADATAFILE file can
|
|
be done as:
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i INPUT -i FFMETADATAFILE -map_metadata 1 -codec copy OUTPUT
|
|
</pre></div>
